Riverworks MKE

Riverworks MKE RDC was created to assist with the very necessary redevelopment of the east Capitol Drive corridor.

Riverworks Development Corporation (RDC) drives social and economic development by aligning residents and businesses with specialized resources that strengthen Harambee, Riverwest, and the surrounding communities. Riverworks Development Corporation (RDC) previously named the Northeast Milwaukee Industrial Development Corporation (NMIDC) was created through a partnership of public and private organ

izations. For many years the area had been home to many major businesses. When those businesses disinvested or relocated the area began to deteriorate. In an effort to restore economic vitality to the business and residential community, Riverworks was created. Today Riverworks is celebrating 20 years of serving local and national businesses and working to retain and attract new businesses to the area thereby ensuring that this area is economically healthy. However, an economically healthy area is an area where the residents are also economically healthy. To that end RDC created the Financial Opportunity Center with a mission to help the area's residents become financial stable through benefits, financial education, and workforce development coaching.

The Riverworks Financial Clinic was proud to attend Milwaukee’s “Back 2 Block: Reentry & Opportunity Night” at City Hall as part of MKE Peace Week.

Hosted by Employ Milwaukee, the Office of African American Affairs, and the Office of Cavalier Johnson, this important event focused on second chances, economic opportunity, and connecting justice-impacted individuals with resources that support long-term stability and success.

We were honored to share information about our free financial counseling, credit-building support, and pathways to greater financial empowerment. Strong communities are built when people have access to opportunity, support, and the tools to move forward.
